  • Title: VATS resection of a mediastinal neurogenic dumbbell tumor.
    Author: McKenna RJ, Maline D, Pratt G.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc; 1995 Dec; 5(6):480-2. PubMed ID: 8611998.
    Abstract:
    Some posterior mediastinal tumors can be safely resected with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), but the safety of resecting a dumbbell-shaped tumor has been questioned. This article reports the successful removal of a dumbbell-shaped cystic schwannoma at T4 using a posterior laminectomy and VATS, with the patient in the prone position.
